ladysj Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm testing a wickless one right now that I made in an 8 ounce tin. I used 1 tablespoon per pound of each eucalyptus, peppermint and vicks in the GL 70/30. It's only a little bit melted and it's smelling up the whole house lol I think I'm going to eliminate the peppermnit though and see how that smells.

islandgirl Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 OMG LOL I remember this one.Every year people ask about putting vicks Vapor rub in their cold candles and if it is flammable..So I stuck that thread in my favorites last year... Alan's experiment was great!!! (I knew some of you would remember that thread too!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I was making cold candles a couple of weeks ago and thought of that thread. Thanks for bringing it back! It is still good for a laugh (and learning).Alan, we need more experiments!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarysweet95 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Wow, just seen that thread, very cool. Guess the moral of that story is don't use vicks vapo steam (the liquid) but that vicks vapo rub is fine! We have glass bottles of the rub here, maybe i'll try it myself next time i have a cold!

gingerinarkansas Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I made a candle yesterday using eucalyptus, wintergreen and vicks. Sure does smell good but next time maybe up the vicks...only used 1 teaspoon and noticed where some were using 1Tablespoon. I'd love to try it with tiger balm...that stuff is good and well worth the extra price you pay for it. Sometimes I use it just because I love the smell of it. Good stuff.

Sharon in KY Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Do they sell a generic vicks? Cause Vicks is very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamute Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I use Vicks Sinus relief from NG and it works great, I get a lot of orders for it too. I've melted down the vapo rub too into the wax and it worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Vicks has other additives to it other than Eucalyptus and Camphor such as alcohol and silicone. You all are better off sticking with EO's if that is the case. The actual sinus candle is Eucalyptus, and 1/2 Peppermint and 1/2 parts Spearmint. The two mints balance eachother out in a sense. I make them when my kids get colds. The only thing to consider if you are using it for sinuses only the real deal is going to work. FO's cost as much or more because you need to use less the amount of EO compared to FO. This particular synergy blend works great on an electric warmer or a melting pot rather than a flame. Customers might take that in consideration if they are health conscious. These EO's also are not that expensive and you need to use less than vicks because theirs is watered down. Another good blend is Lavender combined with spearmint, it makes a great scent to freshen up a room especially after someones been sick. This particular scent you can burn with a flame.
